Every year, Finney Media Research tests library songs from CCM artists with listeners across the United States. Listeners decide this ranking from research we’ve gathered across North America.
In March, we showed you the Top Five Female Artists (READ HERE). In April, the Top Five Male Artists (READ HERE). In May, the Top Five Groups (READ HERE).
Now, we reveal the Top Five CCM Artists – Male, Female and Group – from our recent research. Also included, the second five, all CCM, all in one list:
- Chris Tomlin
- Casting Crowns
- MercyMe
- Jeremy Camp
- Lauren Daigle
- Zach Williams
- Big Daddy Weave
- Elevation Worship
- Matthew West
- Crowder
To make this list, you must have 1.) a lot of songs that 2.) test well. That’s Chris Tomlin. His older material tests well. His newer material tests well. Each of our Top four artists have great testing materials that spans twenty years.
Lauren Daigle continues to bring out great testing song after great testing song. Same with Zach Williams. Both have been making great CCM songs for less than ten years.
And we see the strength of Worship music testing with Elevation Worship at no. 8.
Are you playing these artists enough?
